BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
On Conventional channels, if BCL is set up by your dealer, you will be unable to
transmit on the channel if it is already in use. Under these circumstances, use a
different channel or wait until the channel becomes free.
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can transmit over the
current signal:
1
Press and hold the PTT switch.
If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.
●
2
Release the PTT switch, then press and hold the PTT switch again within half a
second.
3
Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal call.
OUT OF RANGE
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate when it
is out of range. When it can no longer communicate with any site, an out of range
tone sounds and "Out Of Range" appears on the display.
SITE TRUNKING (P25 Trunking)/ NETWORK FAILURE (NXDN
Trunking)
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate a network
condition on the registered site. "Site Trunk" (P25)/ "Network Fail" (NXDN) appears
on the display when the transceiver receives a network disabled message.
CONTROL CHANNEL HUNT
On Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for a control channel. While
searching for a control channel, no signals can be received. The search begins
automatically when you change to a Trunking channel.
While hunting for a channel, the antenna indicator will flash. When a control channel has
●
been found, the antenna indicator remains on the display without flashing.
